In The End: It Was All Good

Daughter spent the day crying but now, at bedtime, she sounds tired and ready to fall asleep. The visit with the Russian girl was delightful.  We visited my garden and tried translating the names of herbs and what sort of foods we use them in etc.  She had never heard of Russian Sage.

I showed her my 12 by 12 quilts and she "got" them.  We discussed design issues and the color choices I made and how I go about the design etc.  Marianne--what a great comment you left--and it made me think "why not" and I am SO GLAD I went and set the pieces up on the dining room table (completely cleaned off).  One of them reminded her of a classic Russian fairy tale.

We had a lovely dinner and discussed how to learn to cook, politics, WW2 and immigration.  She loves America and would like to live here.  And Cooking Shows are the MOST popular shows on Russian television.

I am going to read a bit, drink some more water and then go to bed.

The nicest part of the day--is right now. The house is clean and neat and everything looks lovely.  Why can't I keep it this way all the time?  Maybe that's why people invite company over--so the house looks nice.  That empty dining room table---wow.
